Magic isn't just what spells you cast—it's who you are.

Rob arcane secrets from the most powerful wizards in the world as an Agent of the Ninth Quill. Become the most dangerous person in any room as a Bejeweled Conclave Spy — your clients' secrets your greatest weapon. Chase magical catastrophe headfirst as a Crucible Storm Chaser, or dedicate yourself to the scientific study of death and undeath as a Covenant of the Grave Recruit.

With 8 new subclasses, 10 faction-tied backgrounds, 25+ feats, and 30+ spells, Arcana Unleashed gives you everything you need to build the exact fantasy you want — and a world rich enough to make it matter.

In a world where magic defines identity and arcane factions vie for power, every alliance is fragile and every secret is dangerous.

Master legendary spells, forge your place among rival arcane societies, and when the stakes could not be higher, go undercover in the fractured magocracy of Thay to face D&D's most dangerous spellcaster—the lich Szass Tam—before he unleashes his demonic undead horde upon the world.

The arcane world is alive with magical threats—and not all of them can be reasoned with. 

From Arcana Unleashed, encounter 17 new magical adversaries conjured from arcane experimentation and ancient realms—from devastating Living Spells and elusive Baelnorns to the ferocious, transmuted Darkenbeasts.

From Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall, face 6 high-CR creatures born of Thay's darkest magic—including the Rendelith, the serpentine Sarrukhs, and the full CR 25 stat block for Szass Tam himself.
